The document summarizes new proposed legislative issues that would significantly impact teachers' rights and working conditions if passed. Key points of legislation include reducing teachers' job security by giving administrators broad authority to revoke licenses, dismiss teachers without cause, and conduct layoffs without regard for seniority. The legislation would also restrict collective bargaining rights to only salaries and benefits, limit contracts to two years, and allow school corporations to unilaterally impose policies. Talking points argue this could negatively impact the teaching profession by reducing its attractiveness and retention of highly effective teachers.

The City of Indianapolis and Marion County Public Health Department released Halloween guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic. They recommend alternative activities to traditional Halloween activities like trick-or-treating and indoor parties due to the risks of spreading the virus. Higher risk activities like indoor parties over 50 people, close contact activities like trick-or-treating, and leaving out candy for people to grab are not recommended. Lower risk alternatives include online parties, drive-through events, one-way trick-or-treating where goodie bags are lined up for families to grab from a distance, and decorating homes and yards. Public health orders regarding distancing and masks must still be followed for any Halloween activities.

This document is a complaint filed by four Indiana citizens seeking a declaratory judgment that Attorney General Curtis Hill's 30-day suspension from the practice of law creates a vacancy in that office under the state constitution. The complaint provides background on Hill's disciplinary proceedings before the Indiana Supreme Court, which resulted in a 30-day suspension. It argues that during his suspension, Hill is prohibited from performing any of his statutory duties as AG and is no longer qualified to hold the office. The plaintiffs are asking the court to declare a vacancy exists that the governor must fill pursuant to the constitution and state law. They seek expedited consideration of the matter.
